Hallow Dear,
Usually 5 weeks after an abortion, the egg forming resumes. Starting of the period may vary, but is usually after 5-6 weeks. So even in spite of not having menses, the pregnancy is possible.
If you are keen on having pregnancy, I would advice you to find out the day on which you release your egg (ovulation). This can be done either by ovulation monitoring kit or ultrasonography. The egg has life of 24 hours while the sperms are active for 72 hours. Hence 4 days on either side of the day of ovulation is fertile period. Sexual intercourse in this period will give you good results. However, you will get the best results if you can have sexual intercourse on the day of ovulation.
Otherwise, there seem to be no problem with your hCG test.
Wish you safe motherhood,
Dr. Nishikant
